Always interesting to find what we aren't supposed to be talking about.

Everything is projection. They're upset they can't insert their own bias into Wikipedia and want that bias codified by law or at least by corrupt lawmakers.

A good HackerNews poll would be to ask how many people have had their phones cloned by the police, I didn't know it was uncommon. I guess they've stopped since phones are encrypted.

I graduated in 2004 with a BS in computer science from CMU. I was always told I hadn't worked hard enough to become a software developer, even though that's what I was doing in minimum wage jobs where my title was DBA. Finally gave up after 12 years of searching. YMMV. It was weird when all my professors who said they'd help me find a job if I couldn't find one suddenly didn't have any time for me. Start your life now don't wait just because society tells you that's what you're supposed to do.

Good luck getting a recall if you used your battery enough to rub off the serial number.

Whenever someone charges me a smoking fee I assume they are just saying they don't want me staying there. I'll find some place either much better or much shittier that is appreciative of my business. The Hilton Garden Inn in Princeton NJ has charged both my and my wife a smoking fee on different dates because we were hiking. In Denver you aren't allowed to smoke on the streets, there's no terraces in the hotel, so we were charged a smoking fee after hot boxing our car. They aren't cleaning the room. It's ten cents of spray and an open window at most. I've stayed at hotels where they Febreeze every room daily. What a scumbag thing to do to your customers.

Does the state you live in have concentration camps, yet?

You can still get a PVG100 on Amazon

Our dorm was next to a playground in college. It was impossible to sleep in. They were literally just screaming at the top of their lungs for hours at a time. I guess it's different when it's someone else's day you're ruining.

There's nothing wrong with pointing an unloaded gun at someone. There's no bullets in it, so what's the harm. You can even put your finger on the trigger without any real danger

A manager asking you to tell them how many lines of code you wrote is peak middle-management. Like what are you even doing, you count them.

T9wording is still the easiest way to text while working a stick shift.

But how is it different than those of us who access it for free? I get a popup asking me to pay once a month but that's about it. Are you just happy to throw your money away if it goes to a giant corporation?

Great job score one for crypto holders who plan on not revealing their key under torture.

Just turn off Javascript. When a page won't give you and article without Javascript just don't read it. A scammy popup asking someone to pay money before you can read an article is not some place a hacker would send somebody.

Does anyone want to socialize but not have to socialize? I know I sure do / don't.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

It's a bargaining tactic from a lunatic. Trump thinks countries will call him offering to do things to have the tariffs removed. You are applying reason to someone who has been showing signs of dementia for decades.

The idea that my opinion on an issue could have been influenced by a fake personal anecdote invented by a research bot is abhorrent to me.

Then stop basing your opinion on issues on personal anecdotes from complete strangers. This is nothing new.

They could be as effective as the old cryptography export controls, a pop up appears asking you not to download things to an illegal country.

Do these articles show up for people? I get three lines that fade out.

The statics on kidnapped or missing children in the US say most are taken by a family member, not by a stranger in public. I rode my bike to school in fifth grade but had to stop because of my mom's anxiety.

Morals are a collection of ethics. Their ethics are that people who aren't billionaires are parasites, and that rape and overthrowing the country and murdering politics are acceptable, it's what everyone voted for. The guy in charge of the military has white nationalist tattoos and an unelected foreigner gave white power salutes behind the presidential seal, get used to it.

Yeah when the Palestinians say they want to murder all the Jews that's what genocide is. When there are no Jewish people in Palestine because they killed them all, that's what genocide is. If people didn't hate Jews and support terrorism, Palestinians wouldn't be dying. When Arabs are allowed to vote, participate in government, and join the military, that's the opposite of what genocide is.

Trump won, the Russian misinformation campaign is over now. You can stop making stuff up about Jews now.

Their problem with "political correctness" is that someone corrected them who them deem lesser than them.

US government started tracking explosives sales in the 70s which is why such terror incidents drastically dropped at that time. Misuse is rare because of government regulation.

OK but what about all the dangerous explosives and the intent to murder innocent people?

When someone tells you something, they're they source.

Complaining about tipping on a article you have to pay to read is pretty funny. Tipping is widely preferred by the workers. That's why they don't do it in Europe ;)
